I am a religious person, and I usually read stories and poems when I am done with my school work and chores, anyway just thought I would share this quote with you guys.
If you guys don't like it, simply ignore it.
If you are wondering who Rumi is, he is a poet from the 1200's.
"I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar
With angels bless'd; but even from angelhood
I must pass on: all except God doth perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel-soul,
I shall become what no mind e'er conceived.
Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence
Proclaims in organ tones,
To Him we shall return."
-Rumi
